Abstract: A method is for correcting an imbalance in a computed tomography system, in which a supporting structure includes a radiation source is fitted on a fixed mounting frame. The supporting structure rotates together with the radiation source about a measurement space, in which is fixed in place a measurement object having a known attenuation response for the radiation emitted by the radiation source. The method includes detecting first measurement data of the radiation while the supporting structure rotates about the measurement object, determining an imbalance arising during the rotation of the supporting structure on the basis of the acquired first measurement data of the radiation, and determining a position and a weight of at least one counterweight on the supporting structure in order to reduce the determined imbalance, or determining correction data, which is used to correct the imbalance in software.

The first light source forms the first beam from the second light source, the third light source, and the function of the first beam splitter. Then the second beam splitter reflects the first beam and transmits the fourth beam from the fourth light source for forming the mixed beam, which is received and projected by the optical processing device. Thereby, by using the high color rendering and special optical properties of the mixed beam, the applications and efficacy of the present invention can be improved.
